​Workers' Compensation

The state of Georgia’s Workers’ Compensation Program is administered through a contract with Georgia Administrative Services, which is a third-party administrator. The program provides monetary supplements for absences from work, as well as medical care through the AmeriSys Managed Care Organization and other costs associated with job related injuries. Georgia Focus is a three-tiered approach of the Workers’ Compensation Program that places the primary focus on taking care of employees — their safety, care and recovery. The Return-to-Work Program is an innovative approach to assisting employees with injuries and illnesses to return to their normal activities as soon as possible.
